Flint House by Skene Catling de la Pena

Located on a wilderness within cultivated agricultural fields in a remote island on the east coast of Britain, the Flint House is an unusual private residence treated as landscape or geological extrusion.

This long, narrow building consists of a flint and chalk house and an freestanding annex, looks like a stepped tectonic plates jutting from the ground, with the rough texture and raw surrounding landscape.

Flint is an ancient material related to jasper, obsidian and onyx; a hard, cryptocrystalline form of quartz found only in chalk, and in abundance on the surface of the ploughed fields surrounding the site.
